Thursday Thirteen for November 15th, 2012

Thanks to the lovely and talented Paloma Beck, I have been turned on to the Thursday Thirteen meme. Here is my inaugural post.

13 Reasons I Should Not be Working Today

I've already worked 2 days this week.

My dogs want me to come back to bed.

I need more time to spend on Twitter.

The commute across the hall is too far.

I am still freaked out about last night's episode of American Horror Story.

I didn't drink enough wine last night to numb me for the job.

7. Why work when I know my novel will be turned into a multi-million dollar motion picture and/or I will win the Mega-Millions lottery?8. All my pajamas are dirty, so I have nothing to wear in my home office.9. I don't have enough wine for tonight to numb me from the job.10. I'm still not using Pinterest; I need to get on that.11. Why waste time working when the world is coming to an end in 5 weeks?12. Isn't today Thanksgiving?

And the #13 reason why I should not be working: I should be WRITING!

The Novels of Colette L. Saucier

Popular posts from this blog

Good morning, dear readers! I am returning to Coffee with a special treat from Maria Grace! I have teased Maria in the past for always having some sort of critter with her - from hummingbirds to donkeys - but now she has outdone herself, and certainly WOW-ed me, with Dragons at Pemberley! Once again, she never ceases to amase me with each new release. I am constantly blown away by her creativity! Just take a look....~ColetteMr. Darcy's Dragon As luck would have
it, the humming birds I’ve written about on prior visits here with you,
Colette, have morphed into something far more…interesting shall we say. Who
knew fairy dragons possessed the very handy ability to masquerade as
hummingbirds? Interesting things happen
when they do though… Now for something
completely an entire different-- and fun! Regency England is
teeming with dragons, but only a select few are actually aware they are about.
Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are among the elite members of the Blue
Order, charge…

Good morning, dear readers!I am thrilled to be having this fellow Austen Variations Author join me for Coffee again so I can get to know her even better. My guest today is the gorgeous and talented Shannon Winslow, who has not one but TWO new releases to share! (Meanwhile, my muse has been on vacation...) Of course, we share a love of all things Darcy, and I know that Shannon is an amazing writer; but can someone from Seattle really know how to make jambalaya? (Being from Southeast Louisiana, I much prefer the paella-inspired Creole jambalaya created in New Orleans over the Cajun variety, which is more like dirty rice in my opinion.) I suppose I shall have to ask her preference!

Greetings, dear readers! I have exciting news for all of you who prefer to have and to hold an actual book-book rather than a Kindle, iPad, Nook, or whatever: The intense psychological noir thriller The Widowis now available in paperback, in addition to all eBook formats and the gorgeous hardcover edition. For a limited time, you can order the paperback edition directly from the Southern Girl Press bookstore for only $12.99, although it is also available at the regular price from Amazon (coming soon to all online and "brick & mortar" booksellers).

PLUS A GIVEAWAY- Leave a comment below and you could win your very own copy!The Widow is a noir romantic thriller (What is Noir Fiction?) with Catherine as the troubled, disillusioned, self-destructive heroine and David, the anti-hero, an undercover DEA agent, who cannot bring himself to trust Catherine nor ignore his obsession with her, which haunts his dreams. The Widow begins with a game of cat-and-mouse as Catherine attempts t…

Psychological Erotic Thriller

Modern Twist on Pride & Prejudice

Colette Saucier is a bestselling and award-winning author under multiple
pseudonyms. She began writing poems, short stories, and novellas in grade
school. Her interest in literature led her to marry her college English
professor, but eventually a love of history encouraged her to trade up to a
British historian. Technical writing dominated her career for twenty years, but
finding little room for creativity in that genre, she is now a full-time author
of fiction.

Colette’s
first novel, Pulse and Prejudice, was named “A Most Inventive Adaptation” by Elle
Magazine (April, 2016). It was the 1st Place Winner in its category in the
2013 Chatelaine Awards Romantic Fiction Contest and is listed in Chanticleer’s 2013 Best Book Listing. Colette dedicated 15 months traveling to
Europe and Britain, researching Regency England and vampire lore and
literature.

Colette was selected a “2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award”
Semi-finalist and named “Debut Author of the Year” by Austenprose for All My Tomorrows—now expanded and republished as The Proud and the
Prejudiced—which was also
chosen Austenesque Reviews “Favorite Modern Adaptation.”

Colette’s romantic thriller Alicia’s Possession was the publisher’s #1 Bestselling Romantic Suspense for 4 straight
weeks following its debut in June of 2013 and then again in January, 2014,
after being voted a “Top Ten Romance Novel of 2013” (P&E Reader’s Poll).
Colette is also the author of the controversial and erotic noir romantic
suspense Cartel Widow, an Amazon bestselling new release and Kobo
bestseller.

Due to her obsession with historical accuracy, she devoted more than
two years researching Creole Society and New Orleans in the years following the
War of 1812 for the sequel to Pulse and Prejudice, entitled Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth.

Colette lives in a lakeside community in South Louisiana with her historian
husband and their two dogs. When not writing or
researching for her next novel, she enjoys wine, reading, and cooking gourmet
meals with her husband.
